A Chinese national has been arrested on charges of having obstructed the duties of a motor traffic Police officer in Colpetty.
According to reports, the foreign national who had been approached by the Police officer for a traffic violation had allegedly destroyed the officer’s traffic fine book.
The Colpetty Police said the man has been identified as a 40-year-old English teacher at an international school in Colombo.
